Keeping the Thanks in Thanksgiving

I hope everyone out there is having a great day, either with the family they grew up with or the family they have found since then. Even if you’re alone physically, know you’re not truly alone. There are people out there that care about you and people that, right now, miss you. If you can’t think of someone that misses you, then I’ll be that person. I invite you to my virtual Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) and when we go around and say what we’re thankful for, I’ll say I’m thankful for you. (I’ve got an open call for anyone who wants me to send them a holiday card here.)

I have a friend who’s going through a rough time right now and considering that the holidays tend to have the highest suicide rate, I’m worried that they won’t be here much longer. I’ve already said my piece to them and done what I can from afar, but if you’re in a similar place, know that you would be missed and that, though it may not seem like it right now, things will get better. That’s the way the wheel works.
